It did not have the "CLUB" with 4 suits of cards symbols on the headtube but just the logotype "stacked" vertically.
I'll try to find my old "before repaint" pics and attach a couple...for History!
Any thoughts on this Ciocc? I'm close to pulling the trigger but would like a sanity check first. Paint and decals are period correct and appear to be original. The chainring is a little unusual, seems to be drilled out for weight savings... Also I'm not quite sure on the stem. Were the "iper ciocc" decals standard or do they signify an upgraded model?
